Swine Flu news and updates thread

Only 7 confirmed swine flu deaths: WHO

A member of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has dismissed claims that more than 150 people have died from swine flu, saying it has officially
recorded only seven deaths around the world.

Ok ... whats the deal here.Why are they just now coming out saying this.CNN and other major news outlets have been reporting this supposed fictitious
number all day and been counting up to this number for days now.Why not correct them sooner? All reports I have seen regarding numbers have included
'reported by WHO' in them.

It really irritates me when news is spread for days and then all of a sudden it turns into 'false claims' by someone.
If an organization as large as WHO sees a wrong number being reported on large news outlets, should they not correct it ASAP?

We don't know. This story looks like BS... some say it's from Canada, some California, some Mexico... there's obviously someone trying to produce
confusion... yeah let's all forget about Baxter sending vaccines with live bird flu mixed with human flu to be injected in people in europe early
march.

Leaflets about the swine flu outbreak and how to prevent its spread are to be delivered to every UK household. The Department of Health is also
"urgently looking" at increasing stockpiles of facemasks, most likely for issue to health professionals.

According to Pulse, Dr. Gregor McEwan, a GP from Clapham, South West London, has been left to investigate a suspected swine flu infection case
without adequate local advice or access to antivirals. Dr. McEwan explained to Pulse how he alone is having to coordinate tests, as well as treatment
for a woman who was declared as a possibly infected patient with the H1N1 virus (swine flu virus).

According to Dr. McEwan, he received little guidance from the local Health Protection Unit, the NHS (National Health Service) or his PCT.

NHS Direct told the patient, a woman who had returned to the UK from Canada via New York, to contact her GP. The woman has flu-like
symptoms.

Where does it say that one 'coughs blood' if infected with Swine Flu?
From what I have read, even on the paper sent home with my kids the other day, it's just normal flu like symptoms.No coughing up blood.

It happened during the Spanish Flu (swine). The healthy who have cytokine storms end up destroying their lungs, and other organs. We're not seeing
details on the advanced stages of those who end up dying for a good reason.

it is hardly deadly. and where are the figures that show ages of the deceased.
its probably as deadly as the common flu. which is deadly to the elderly, weak and very young.
plus there are so many illnesses that cause respiratory failure which all the current figures have been linked to.
common flu cause respiratory failure if you can't get the fluid off your chest.

Former Herald reporter and University of Plymouth student Abigail Edge, currently working with The Guardian, was today at Heathrow. Writing for The
Guardian website she said: "Every time somebody on British Airways flight 242 from Mexico City coughed, other passengers would start to look
panicked. Despite the ten hour flight many were too anxious to sleep or even to eat, reluctant to remove the blue surgical masks which over the last
few days have come to represent one of the fastest-growing threats to the health of nations around the globe: swine flu.

But Plymouths health chiefs refuse to say anything even though many people seem to be very concerned about all this..

"Most of them are just staying at home and avoiding contact with others but they feel terrible, with a bad fever and sore muscles.

The real head count is obviously way, way under the numbers we are seeing reported..

If a doctor or nurse believes that testing for swine flu is required, there is a simple swab test which can be done.

I repeat, our kids in NZ are ok to date and a top virus scientist has just been on the news saying to take precautions, maybe it is not a pandemic,
and he does not understand why Mexico City has been hit so hard, other than to say that stressed and overpopulated areas could be a reason.

I think it has risen to level 4 due to the speed and nature of the transmission of the virus, not because of anything else for the moment.

I still have seen nothing to tell me how this flu is actually killing people, all confirmed cases so far outside Mexico have had normal flu symptoms
and have fully recovered, so this does not stack up.

Also, the political agenda, I do not buy into, as there is not evidence of NWO, NAU, OWG, etc. This is just Alex Jones fear-mongering again! (IMHO)

Finally, if W.H.O. were really in the political game, and controlled by the PTB, or who-ever, then why are they constantly working to eradicate
viruses and diseases like SmallPox, etc? Would it not make more sense to keep these diseases around so the big pharma companies can make quadrillions
on the medicines??
